Don't Be Afraid
Des'ree
WE SAY
It’s been over 16 years since we have heard new music from BRIT and Ivor Novello Award-winning singer-songwriter Des’ree. Having enjoyed massive success in the ‘90s with gold and platinum-certified albums I Ain’t Movin’ and Supernatural, which included the hit singles You Gotta Be, Life, and Kissing You, Des’ree decided to leave music behind in 2003. In the intervening years, she qualified as a nutritionist and a naturopath but her passion to write music continued to flicker and in 2014 she started work on a new album. After contacting her longstanding co-writers Michael Graves and Tim Atack they returned to the studio to work on a new collection of songs, but this was put on hold after her mother became seriously ill. Now ready to be released this Friday, A Love Story is a collection of heartfelt songs, full of a raw sense of vulnerability and passion. Don’t Be Afraid is a perfect example of this, with its piano-led melodies and lush instrumentation, evoking a soothing and soulful delight just like her big hits of the past. Welcome back Des’ree.
